Oooo don't start me on charity bags. I don't get that many, probably about three in a year, but they never ever come back for them. I've left them full on the doorstep on the given day, they've still been there a week later, same with the empty ones, they ask you to leave them out too....but again they are still there a week later.

The postman delivers enough junk mail, but nowhere near as much as local companies.

We had four menus in ONE afternoon, last week!

It must be worth their while or they wouldn't pay the people to deliver them.

How many take aways are there in this town, I wonder?

A lot of them are from delivery firms only, no address, only a phone number.

I wouldn't trust them; I wonder what the kitchens are like?

Over the last few weeks I have had hundreds of leaflet, take-away menu's, Christmas shopping ideas, electioneering waffle, gardning, double glazing, window-cleaning and sky leaflets delivered through my door. My recycling bin is full of them every week?

However much is this costing companies? It must be a fortune, especially as I would imagine the majority of people are like me, pick them up from the mat and shove them straight into the bin.

I was thinking of making papier mache with them all and plastering one of the deliverer's cars with them LOL
